Teacher: Today we will start reading Romeo and Juliet.
Student: Oh, by the way, in the end, Romeo and Juliet die.
Teacher: I'll see you in detention boy!
Student: What the fuck?! They tell you in the fucking prologue!

Basically it's about two people who are in "forbidden love" because their parents hate each other, but they get married about 12 hours after they first met.
Yeah, then they get killed about four days later.
A lot of other people die, too.

It's pretty relevant to our time period, since it still happens between couples all over the place.

Abram: Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
Sampson: Is the law of our side if I say ay?
Gregory: No. ):

A play that gets more impossible to read the older it gets. Every 9th grade English class has to read it and the teachers love to assign a test for every act, an essay, and lost scene. The story is about two attractive teenagers that have a secret marriage and have sex then they both get really emotional and overdramatic and die. Your best bet to surviving it is to buy a No Fear Shakespeare book.
